    Bees,

    I am sooo annoyed right now. I have been printing samples of the STD's as I change them. Now that I have the one I want, the printer is shooting out horrible resolution pics.

    Now some background. I was getting low in my color ink cartridge. So I changed it to a cartridge that I just realized I have in my room. It might be a few months old. At least five months old from when I bought it.

    Now ever since I changed the ink cartridge the STD quality sucks! Especially the picture! I have done everything that I did before. The only thing different is the ink cartridge.

    Can a ink cartridge get (old) if its sitting in someones home for 5 months?? SHould I just buy a new one and see how the new one looks? The first few STD's I printed had LINEs through the pic! I have printed about 8 to see if it would get better, its not. Though the lines arent showing up anymore.

    The rough drafts of the STD's that I dont want look way better then the final STD!!! Its starting to piss me off. I KNOW it can look amazing(Ive seen what my printer can do, but my printer is printing off duds !!!

    It has to be the new ink cartridge. Right?? Help bees.

    I did all u suggested.It was still bad printing. But I did suspect something. It was only the picture that was really horrible when printed now. So I went through my computer and found the pic and printed it. 

    Guess what? It came out perfect!!

    I finally figured out what the issue was. Another bee helped me to perfect the STD's on her computer. Everything she sent me wasnt printing good at all. Well the pics werent. The rest was fine.

    So I realized that there is no compatability between my computer and hers. I dont know y. I have no idea y.

    So I copied my pic and put it over the picture that wasnt printing good and reprinted it. The STD looks good now!

    Mystery solved!
